Question about Medicare 4 all, how would it cost more than the current system?

44. The Kochs are implacably opposed to all government programs,

including Social Security, unemployment insurance, and of course all national healthcare systems. Everyone should really, really question the Kochs' motive in producing a study that would be expected to undercut support for national healthcare system in place. They've famously been having a great deal of unexpected difficulty destroying Obamacare because of its popularity with the voters and its integration with various national, state and commercial systems. They're currently working on destroying the VA, America's most successful, by far least expensive, socialized medical system.

They're not limited to big federal programs, though. They want to dismantle virtually all regulation on business. They have real problems with municipalities running mass transit systems, even busses, and have made it their business to stop projects in a number of cities. They didn't like another city's plan for a zoo. They're against mandatory taxation to pay for not just programs like our big social safety net, but even for the public schools systems across our nation. That's right: no mandatory public education, no mandatory taxes to pay for it.

The Kochs and their alliance have been working to get to this point for over 40 years and currently have agents, elected and appointed, in our government dismantling our systems from within until they can get them finished off legislatively and judicially. They're among those who approved offering Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to Trump, who'd made a deal (what'd Trump get?) to choose from the list they and their allies provided. The Kochs and others who share their goals have operated clandestinely behind front operations and agents for decades, and their conspiracies have only become exposed enough for their name to be widely recognized in the past 5 years or so. But obviously not widely enough.

If a Designated Survivor event took out all the people currently in the line of succession but one, that one would very likely be a Koch ally elected for sharing their ideology and for willingness to serve their interests.

Long ago in a private meeting of people like him, Charles Koch declared that the only legitimate functions of government are protection of person and property. He thought possibly also protection against fraud, presumably a problem to them. Protection of person and property, btw, is police, fire and military, not medical care. They don't need help with that.
